What is SLS 3D Printing?

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an advanced powder bed printing technology that falls under the powder bed fusion category. In this methodology, a laser fuses tiny bits of nylon powder and builds up a part, layer by layer. This printing process traces the geometry of CAD models and works from the bottom of the part upwards.  
The materials for SLS 3d printing services are thermoplastic polymers. The service can be broadly used in both prototyping of functional polymer components. The machine follows the fast-paced procedure that avails SLS rapid prototyping with maximum accuracy. 

How Do the SLS 3D Printing Machines Work? 

The SLS machine starts sintering each layer of the nylon powder bed, and the cross-section is then scanned. The whole process involves - 

●    The build area of powder is heated up at its melting temperature.

●     The powder gets spread over into thin layers with the help of a re-coated blade.

●     A laser then scans the contour of the next layer and fuses together

●     When the build finishes, the entire powder then shifts to a breakable station,

where it gets raised with the broken parts.

●     After the process, an initial brushing takes place for removing a majority of loose

powder.

●     Parts are bead blasted before reaching the final department for removal of

powder. 

What are the Options for SLS Post-Processing? 

SLS nylon 3D printing leaves parts or surfaces more powdery and grainy that can be easily stained. Thus, using post-processing methods can help to remove the remainings. Methods such as media polishing, dyeing, spray painting, and lacquering can contribute. The typical build volume of a system is around 300 x 300 x 300mm, which gives enough space to look at the current level of the process.
